My old ‘86 F250 straight 6 engine sure I’d take a manual. But backing around a fifth wheel with a manual trans is for the birds.

No. I drove manual for years but I'm over it. No real benefit as far as I'm concerned.

Absolutely. I had a couple Rams before my SD just because they had the manual in them.

Definitely would take a manual. Wouldn’t mind having a split rear-end to get more gears either.

Nope. The manual mode of the TorqShift will suffice when needed.

Naw when I bought my old dodge cummins the 6 speed manual was painfully slow. Neat novalty, we got one in a shop truck but not for me.

no way. I would only consider a manual in a sports car going forward. Too much traffic in my area to deal with the bs.

With a small, under powered vehicle, yes (or a sports car). In a Super Duty, especially diesel, no.
